After moving its programming in Cincinnati to Radio One’s 101.5 W258CM Cincinnati/WIZF-HD2 Erlanger KY on October 1, La Mega Media Inc. is expanding its distribution in Cleveland and Columbus.
The Spanish Variety “Mega Cleveland” brand will return to radio for the first time in over four years on 1300 WJMO starting November 1. Mega was previously heard on 87.7 WLFM-LP from January 2014 until the station ceased operation as a Franken-FM in June 2020. It has since continued broadcasting online only. 1300 WJMO currently serves as parent signal to Gospel “Praise 94.5” W233CG, which will now be fed by 107.9 WENZ-HD2. WJMO will join Omega Media Broadcasting’s “Rumba 107.3-HD2” WNWV-HD2 in the Cleveland Spanish media marketplace.
Multiple changes will take place in Columbus. The Lazo Media owned “Mega 103.1” WVKO-FM Johnstown has changed call letters to WWLA and will begin simulcasting its programming on Radio One’s 107.1 WJYD Circleville replacing Gospel “Joy 107.1” on November 1. The expansion will help replace Radio One’s Regional Mexican “La Grande 102.5” WWLG Baltimore as its LMA with Southeastern Ohio Broadcasting System will come to an end after four years.
WWLG has requested a call letter change to WKVR and it is expected to begin being operated by Educational Media Foundation as part of its Christian AC “K-Love” network.
The Mega changes were first reported our 10/4 Domain Insight report. At the time Radio One also registered LaMegaIndianapolis.com and LaMegaIndy.com hinting at the brand also being inserted on Regional Mexican “La Grande 105.1” W286CM/WHHH-HD2.
